Last, I look at the haskamot, the approbations at the beginning of one of his books. I find a letter from my great uncle testifying for the value of the book and I find a letter from my husband’s grandfather writing the same testimony. And I humbly accept my own part of the story, and I testify to Rabbi Avigdor’s inner strength, to his greatness and to the truth of what befell Rabbi Avigdor and six million others not so long ago.
